When I woke up, Naruto was already gone. It was eight and I felt well rested. I got out of bed and cracked my neck and back, I felt awfully stiff. Today is the day I finally get to see Setami Sensei again. Being a jinjuriki and all, I hope there are some cool things she can teach me.

I change out of my pajamas and into my ninja clothes. I attach my sai into my holsters and put the weapon pouch on my leg. My headband gets tied around my neck and I brush my hair and my teeth. I look at myself in the mirror. My face is beginning to look sickly. You can see my cheekbones prominently and the bags under my eyes are impossible to avoid. Even my body looks unhealthy. You can see my ribs and every bone in my shoulder. I am way too small. Never have I ever been nourished correctly, but for the past few days I keep forgetting to eat. My mind is all over the place and I need to get back on track. These last events have really thrown me for a loop and I need to revert back to my old self and habits. As I brush my hair I notice it's falling out in chunks... definitely not good.

I head into the kitchen only to see an empty cup of instant ramen. I'm glad Naruto ate something before he left. If his training goes well today, maybe I'll treat him to some Ichuraku's ramen. There's nothing in the fridge when I open it.

"Time to eat breakfast and get to training!" I hear someone shout. My body jolts to face the voice and see Setami Sensei.

"That could be a problem Sensei." I counteract her loud tone with my quiet one.

"And why is that?"

"I don't have any food, Sensei."

Her eyes stare at me with a look of fire. "Alright then! Let's go shopping!"

My eye twitches, why is she so excited to go shopping? We start walking to the grocery store and I notice she's limping slightly.

"What did you do in the hidden cloud village?"

She turns to me and smiles, "The Raikage needed to talk to me, that's all!"

"Why are you limping?"

"I was attacked on the way back, but I'll be healed shortly enough!"

My eyes narrowed and I studied her. "Who?"

"Who what?"

"Don't play dumb. Who attacked you?"

Her voice lowers, and she gets very serious, "Madi, we can't talk about this right now. Just wait."

I nod my head, and with that her joyful expression returns. "Race to the store?"

"Oh you're so on."

We both start sprinting, trying our hardest not to bump into people. I'm going full speed when I realize Setami Sensei is right next to me. Refusing to lose, I do what I have to do. My right hand reaches for an empty box and I throw it at Setami Sensei. She's shocked for a second but easily catches the box. Realizing what I had done, she threw the box right back at my feet. My reactions weren't quick enough while going full speed, so I tripped over the box and went crashing forward.

Dirt. So much dirt. It's everywhere. Its on my body, in my hair and in my mouth. I literally and metaphorically am eating dirt. Setami Sensei was nowhere in sight. My eyebrow twitches and I push myself up.

"What are you doing on my street?" A man shouts down at me and kicks me hard in the side. Sharp pains run through my stomach. I look up as he towers over me, his eyes glaring at me. Once he realizes who I am he yells again, "Get out of here you beast!" Two thousand, seven hundred forty three.

"Shut the hell up," I say.

"Hey Madi, let's use our nice words," says a malicious voice. I turn to see Setami Sensei glaring at the man. "Excuse me sir, what she mean to say is, 'Shut the hell up, please.'" Setami Sensei then quickly walked up to the man and kneed him in the balls.
